Everyone loves Fatheads, those huge, lifelike action shots of sports stars that you can stick on your walls.  Even parents like them because you can stick them up and peel them off without damaging the wall.

Fatheads are a bit pricey (about $100 for a lifesized Tom Brady, for example) but they can completely transform a room, making it instantly cool.

Now there is a ‘mini’ version of Fatheads, called Fathead Tradeables.  These are 5″x7″ peel and stick images that are sold like trading cards, five to a pack.  At less than $15 per pack, these have become a hot gift among my kids and their sports-loving friends.  NFL Tradeables are available now and other sports are sure to follow.

Shop for Fathead NFL Tradeables at the KidCrunch Store.
